Uhmm.... Are you sure it has anything to do with the governments intentions.
At the end of the day, non-union wages are based on nothing other than supply and demand. Period, end of story.
The answer is not to have the govt "do something about it" I assume you are referring to the federal govt since you were comparing to other states in the union. I suspect that the answer lies in what the state and local elected officials are doing to attract new business as the economc climate has changed. The elected officials, the ones you elected, have the responsibility to adapt as things change. We are a services based economy and as the manufacturing jobs have gone by way of the union, they local emphasis needs to change, unless of course they were in the back pockets of those unions....
just my two cents....
